Tang Xi looked at Li Se with some surprise. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "You want me to help you investigate the Blood Gate organization? Has this assassin organization reappeared?"
"Yes!" Li Se said in a deep voice.
"It seems something has happened, otherwise, with your personality, you wouldn't be so enraged." Tang Xi quickly guessed something and didn't press further. After thinking, she added, "With the information of the Enforcement Department, it's impossible to find the headquarters of the Blood Gate organization, but we can clear out their strongholds in Qingyun City."
"How long will it take?" Li Se asked.
Tang Xi thought for a moment and said, "About half a day."
"Alright, I'll wait for you," Li Se nodded.
"Hmm..." Tang Xi was about to nod but then found something was wrong. She immediately shook her head, "Why should I help you investigate?"
She almost followed this guy's instructions obediently. She did have the authority to use the Enforcement Department's intelligence, but why should she help this guy?
"I cured your illness," Li Se said.
"That matter is in the past," Tang Xi refused to admit it.
"Then what do you want?" Li Se gritted his teeth. This woman was clearly someone who ate and then left without a trace, a scumbag.
Tang Xi rolled her eyes and said, "How about this, I'll help you investigate, but you have to promise to help me. In the future, if I need any martial force, you have to be available whenever I call."
"Being available whenever you call is impossible, but I can help you three times," Li Se said crisply.
"Deal!" Tang Xi said very readily. Then, she took out her phone and dialed a number. After speaking briefly, she hung up. She smiled and said, "Now we just have to wait for the results."
Half a day for the investigation still took some time. At this moment, there were only the two of them in the house. Li Se looked at Tang Xi with a strange gaze. His mind naturally recalled the scene in the bathroom just now, that fair and delicate body was unforgettable.
"What kind of look is that?" Tang Xi asked irritably. Was this guy still thinking about her naked scene in the bathroom?
"Uh..." Li Se was speechless. He wasn't even allowed to glance twice?
Although it was said to be half a day, in about three hours, they had investigated the strongholds of this Blood Gate organization in Qingyun City. They must have stayed in Qingyun City for some time to kill Li Se. Especially after failing three times, the Blood Gate would send more assassins. According to the second assassin, after three failures, the Blood Gate instructors would personally act.
Upon knowing the exact location, Li Se planned to leave immediately. However, Tang Xi said, "I'll go with you."
"This matter doesn't seem to concern you, does it?" Li Se was a little surprised.
"After all, this Blood Gate assassin organization is an internationally wanted criminal. Of course, I have to go arrest them. Moreover, as far as I know, once the Blood Gate organization reaches the instructor level, they are all ancient martial arts masters. You might not be able to handle them alone," Tang Xi said gravely.
Li Se didn't say anything more. Tang Xi's combat skills were quite remarkable. Having her accompany him would indeed be a good help.
They quickly arrived outside a mud house in the suburbs in Tang Xi's car. An Enforcement Department member immediately met with Tang Xi.
"Captain, they are inside. We can't get too close, otherwise, we'll be easily discovered," the person whispered.
"Hmm, you continue to watch here. I'll go in and take a look," Tang Xi nodded.
Li Se secretly sighed that having an intelligence organization was truly great. He would also establish his own power when he had the chance. After all, he was just one person. No matter how strong he was, he couldn't be everywhere at once. Moreover, for this kind of investigation, if he hadn't sought Tang Xi's help, it wouldn't have been so easy to find this place. Even if they found it later, this Blood Gate assassin organization might have already moved. These assassins were extremely vigilant and wouldn't stay in one place all the time.
They climbed over the wall together and entered the mud house. Li Se's movements were very light. However, Tang Xi couldn't be as silent. She made a slight noise, and immediately a sense of crisis struck.
Bang!
A gunshot rang out.
Li Se immediately pushed Tang Xi to the ground. Both of them were very coordinated and rolled simultaneously, entering the house in an instant.
A massive fist magnified infinitely in his pupils. Li Se produced silver needles in his hand and flicked them out instantly. Before the fist could even touch him, it came to an abrupt halt. The assassin only let out a muffled groan and fell to the ground, unable to move much.
"Acupoint striking?" A blonde man inside the house, upon seeing Li Se's actions, instinctively thought of the Chinese art of acupoint striking. This wasn't something found only in television shows. In the world of ancient martial artists, acupoint striking was just a common skill. However, they, Westerners, didn't understand these things because the acupoints were too complex.
As Li Se instantly took down one person, Tang Xi was also fighting with an assassin, but she quickly gained the upper hand and knocked the assassin to the ground.
Soon, both of them felt a sense of crisis and rolled in opposite directions simultaneously. The sniper fired again, this time two shots in rapid succession. Both shots landed precisely where Li Se and Tang Xi had been standing.
As Li Se dodged the bullets, the silver needles in his hand flew out again. The sniper's location was very close, only about a dozen meters away. At this distance, the sniper had no advantage. After firing two shots, before the sniper could fire a third, the silver needles had already pierced his body. The gun in his hand fell directly, and he stood there blankly, motionless.
There were a total of four assassins in this house, plus this sniper. Three had already been dealt with, leaving only the blonde man.
"Are you an instructor-level assassin?" Li Se asked.
"That's right," the blonde man nodded. "You are our Blood Gate's target, aren't you? To kill you, we've dispatched quite a few assassins. I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to our doorstep. Of course, looking at your skills, I might not be your opponent. How about this, I'll abandon this mission, and we part ways peacefully?"
"Not good!" Li Se snorted coldly and kicked out.
"It seems you're forcing me to act!" The blonde man shook his head, a sharp glint appearing in his eyes. He attacked with his hands like eagle claws, grasping at the air.
Bang!
"Ah!" But the blonde man's attack was instantly thwarted by Li Se's kick. He cried out in pain and stumbled back several steps. His expression became serious, but before he could react, Li Se's attack struck again.
"So fast!" The blonde man's expression changed drastically. He immediately wanted to counterattack, but he didn't know when silver needles had already been embedded in his arms, rendering them immobile. He forcibly took a blow from Li Se, flew backward, and spat out a mouthful of blood...
